Why I think health care mandates are a good idea W/poll
Wed Jan 23, 2008 at 01:35:31 AM PDT
I have been thinking lately about the idea of mandates when it comes to health care. I was sitting on the fence for a long time, but now I'm thinking it's a good idea.
I remember how I was when I was younger, and if anything had happened then that would have cost a lot, I would have been in trouble. I was short-sighted, as so many of us are.
Follow me for my reasoning.
"The Shock Doctrine" Why it didn't matter when Iraq museums were robbed
Tue Sep 25, 2007 at 10:35:48 AM PDT
Remember when "Shock and Awe" was started, and Rumsfeld did not care about the museums being robbed? Remember how the infrastructure was destroyed for no apparent reason? Ever wonder why Bremer thought he could just change all the laws in Iraq in one fell swoop?
Then you will want to read the new book by Naomi Klein "The Shock Doctrine" and watch or read an interview with Naomi Klein on Democracy Now! where she spells out the philosophy behind things like Pinochet's coup in Chile, the massacre in Tiananmen Square, 9/11, and other events.
Action alert! Help Stop Wyeth From Restricting Pharmacies
Thu Mar 30, 2006 at 02:00:25 PM PDT
I have only done one diary, ever before, so please be kind in your comments, if you have any. This is a subject that is personal for me, so I just had to post it. I searched to see if anyone else has done a diary on it, but didn't find anything, and apologize now if it has been done already.
On to the issue:
Please help stop Wyeth from getting the FDA to restrict pharmacies from compounding medications for people that need them, because the big pharmaceutical companies don't offer medications that will do the job. The deadline for comments is April 4, 2006, so the sooner contacts are made the better.
This is an effort by Wyeth to stop pharmacies from compounding medications that are customized for each patient. This includes bio-identical hormones that do not cause the side effects of the synthetic hormones.

PTSD - killing makes it worse
Mon Mar 21, 2005 at 12:57:25 AM PDT
This is my first diary, so please bear with me. I searched but did not find anything on this so here goes.
The Chicago Tribune has a story that focuses on how war is appearing to be harder on women than men, probably because the women have had previous abuse and trauma, which sets them up for more Post Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD).
But, the most interesting thing to me was that it was killing others that tipped soldiers of both genders into PTSD.
